I've tried to draw Emeralda before, but I never quite got the hairstyle anywhere approaching accurate. Surprisingly enough, when I just sat down and started doodling instead of consciously trying to draw Emeralda, I got much better results. There's something really sweet about the look on her face. That's incredibly odd, because I don't have much experience with drawing little kids, so I was trying to think of the way my three year old brother looks, and "sweet" is definitely not the first word to pop into my mind in connection with him lately. :P
